Do you imagine that all "citizens" are eligible to become President?

LOL Please copy and paste where I ever said that. Oh, that's right, you can't. I never said such a thing.

You'll find out that you must be a "natural born citizen" which means that you have to meet certain standards of birth and parentage.

Indeed. And Obama was born of a natural born U.S. citizen mother who had not renounced her citizenship, which makes him a 'natural born citizen' even if he were born outside the U.S.

Good grief.

Apparently you can’t write OR read.

I already posted YOUR words in italics in my original post: “Even if Obama were born outside the U.S., that does not mean he isn’t a citizen.”

Of course it does not MEAN he isn’t a citizen. One has nothing to do with the other. Some people born outside the United States become citizens through a naturalization process. Others, like John McCain are US citizens by birth. So what?

And now we come to you next uninformed and dummass statement: “And Obama was born of a natural born U.S. citizen mother who had not renounced her citizenship, which makes him a ‘natural born citizen’ even if he were born outside the U.S.”

Please bone up on your stuff before mouthing off what you clearly don’t know jack about. The only way a child born overseas gets a clear “natural born” status is if BOTH parents are Citizens. If one is NOT (as was the case with young Barack) a whole other set of laws comes into play, and the laws in effect at the time of Barack’s birth, if it took place outside the United States, would not permit his natural born citizenship.

if you doubt that, get advice from someone who actually knows something about the subject, and stop relying on your own imaginings.

Might be, but you CANNOT have or had dual citizenship to meet the requirements to run for the office of the President. His mother and the child had dual citizenship!!!
